I didn't slander shit. I posted two facts. Facts can't be slander. You know I'm right, and you're perfectly capable of using a search engine so don't even bother going that route, I'm not here to teach you.
The hilarious part is how many of the Musk haters were once Musk fan boys. Whatever opinion the media tells them to have. But since hating Musk is the only "acceptable" position to have they have to down vote everything else.
I was hoping the political stupidity would be turned down here, instead they've turned it up to 11.
What law do you propose, that didn’t already exist, wouldn’t violate the Bill of Rights, and wouldn’t cause a civil war, and would actually be enforceable?
Most of the time I either get answers that include laws that already exist that the government just doesn’t enforce, or a “fuck the constitution, let’s have a civil war!” (And not just "fuck the 2nd", but most of the bill of rights.)
For example the army is supposed to report people discharged dishonorably to the NCIS. They don’t.
The ATF is supposed to follow up when a banned individual tries to buy a gun. They don’t.
The ATF is supposed to check on people when gun dealers report them for attempted straw purchases. They don’t.
Many "juveniles" with long, violent histories, don't get added (TeH sChOol tO PrISon PipElInE) and so are able to buy them.
Know someone who has illegal weapons? Call the police and see what they do. Here’s a hint: nothing
If the rules we have were enforced very few of these shootings would happen. Passing another law and not enforcing it isn't going to help.
So, does anyone have one?
EDIT: Downvotes and no responses. You want to "do something about this"? Tell me what that is!
Red counties, which are overwhelmingly Republican, tend to report higher charitable contributions than Democratic-dominated blue counties, according to a new study on giving, although giving in blue counties is often bolstered by a combination of charitable donations and higher taxes.
Maybe they come out more or less even, I don't know. But to say conservatives are "me me me" and liberals are "we we we" is just ignorant and doesn't jive with the facts.
I a little bit of hope that you'll read this and change the conservative strawman you have in your head just a little bit. You can't engage in honest conversation when you do that.
The problem is that you don't understand conservative viewpoints. Not that you disagree, that you don't understand.
Here's a short reading list, with liberal authors, about it:
"The Moral Roots of Ideology" by Jonathan Haidt and Jesse Graham (2007):
This study explores the moral foundations theory and suggests that liberals and conservatives tend to prioritize different moral values, leading to divergent political ideologies. Understanding these underlying moral foundations can contribute to a better understanding of political differences.
"The Ideological Animal" by John T. Jost, Christopher M. Federico, and Jaime L. Napier (2009)
This article discusses the psychological underpinnings of political ideology and explores factors that influence individuals' understanding of opposing viewpoints, such as openness to experience, cognitive flexibility, and exposure to diverse perspectives.
"Beyond Ideology: Predicting Political Bias and Attitude Extremity from Personal Need for Structure" by John T. Jost, Jack Glaser, Arie W. Kruglanski, and Frank J. Sulloway (2003):
This study examines the role of psychological factors, such as the need for structure and certainty, in shaping political bias and the ability to understand opposing views.
The first one sounds like "scheduled maintenance" gone awry. Like for something that takes 5 minutes to run that you tell your boss will take an hour, who tells his boss it'll take two hours, boss then says "let's double that to be safe".
I wanna know WHY it is unavailable. Does the system crash if there's not enough paper in the dot-matrix printer? Are the HTTP responses being filled out manually in real time?
According to the Lyubchyks, one of these devices can generate a relatively modest 1.5 volts and 10 milliamps. However, 20,000 of them stacked into a washing machine-sized cube, they say, could generate 10 kilowatt hours of energy a day – roughly the consumption of an average UK household. Even more impressive: they plan to have a prototype ready for demonstration in 2024.
That'd be cool if it worked, even if it does it will be cost prohibitive for quite some time.
What lae do you propose, that didn't already exist, wouldn't violate the Bill of Rights, and wouldn't cause a civil war?
Most of the time I either get answers that include laws that exist that the government doesn't enforce, or a "fuck the constitution, let's have a civil war!"
For example the army is supposed to report people discharged distribution to the NCIS. They don't.
The ATF is supposed to follow up when a banned individual tries to buy a gun. They don't.

Affirmative Action means that degrees earned by minorities are worth less than the same degree by a white guy.
A side effect means that I seek straight male white or Asian doctors. My health is too important to trust to someone who only made it there because of that skin color or sexuality.
AA is hot garbage. It rewards rich minorities while punishing poor people. There's a reason everyone hates it.
Racial discrimination is unconstitutional. I don't care if it benefits you or me, it's wrong.
No buts. No what abouts. No "but a long time ago!" Just no.
Zipping a folder has 0 to do with compsci in the first place. Unless it's a course on compression.
